A friend of mine in Ohio referred to me as "Swiss Miss." I have a lot of fun doing a lot of different things! But first and foremost I am a wife and a mom. I live in the beautiful state of Delaware and work at a great school. But I was born in Rhode Island, grew up in Hobart, Indiana and have lived all over.

I had fun making a Bali Lantern inspired by Lisa Englebrecht's video. I transferred Christine and Leaf's amazing engagement photos by Kelly Prizell to canvas using gel medium and acetone from inkjet copies. I embellished with Jacuard acrylics, glitter (naturally), stencils, and pigma pens. I'll make smaller ones in the future and make wider borders for better stability. It will be hanging in the Toni and Stuart B. Young Gallery this month. After that- maybe it will make an appearance at the wedding.

It's still me.

About Me

I work at a small art college in Delaware. I grew up in Indiana near Chicago, but have lived in many different places. I have a diverse background that lets me see things from many different perspectives. Theatre, music, writing, softball, cook, wife, mother, daughter, sister, artistic, calligrapher, painter, teacher, student, department head, republican, democrat, independent, instigator, faithful and spiritual. I am constantly curious and constantly challenging myself and the people around me.
